The image captures a vintage, sepia-toned photograph featuring two adjacent buildings located beneath a large bridge structure.

The first building, labeled "GEO. M. STILL" on a prominent sign, is a two-story structure with a light-colored facade and several windows. The ground floor features large display windows, suggesting it might be a shop. The second building, to the right, bears the sign "N.P. HOUSMAN OYSTER CO. Inc."

In the foreground, there's a large pile of what appears to be oyster shells, indicative of the oyster business. The structures sit on a wooden pier, giving the image a maritime setting. A portion of the massive bridge, likely made of steel, arches over the buildings. Its intricate lattice-work is a major element of the composition, overshadowing the structures below.
